Upon entering, this place was a lot smaller than I imagined. There is no indoor eating area. There are tables outside that I believe they share with neighboring stores. There was a lot of Mickey Mouse memorabilia that was pretty cool to see. They had a soda fountain machine, but it said coming soon.

We were greeted right away, the place wasn't too busy when we arrived. The lady who took our order was super nice and actually asked us how our day was going. I find that rare nowadays.

We ordered:

1. 2 item teri pork and beef with mac salad - the mac potato salad was a little peppery but addicting. The meat was well marinated and tender. Portions weren't bad. I feel like I ran out of rice and mac salad pretty fast.

2. Chicken katsu all rice - Chicken katsu was crispy, and katsu sauce paired well. It was comparable to L&L. Wasn't amazing but decent.

Overall, the food was good. It hits the spot when you are craving Hawaiian food. I can't wait to come back and try their other items.

It's my first time here at this location. Upon walking in, you're greeted right away by the hostess.  She was super polite and helpful in placing my order.  I'm not sure how long this place has been here, but it seems pretty modern and newly renovated.   It was pretty busy when I was here.

For my to go order, I ordered:

1. NY Steak and eggs, cooked medium with bay potatoes and sourdough bread -  The steak ended up being well done but was good with the grilled onions and mushrooms.   Bay potatoes tasted horrible,  it tasted like it was made earlier in the day and just warmed up.   I say that because that's how some potatoes taste when you reheat leftovers that you took home.

2.  Basic Omelette  with bacon,sausage, and cheese - ginormous, cheesy with bits of bacon and sausage

3.  French Toast - pretty tasty you didn't need syrup.

4.  Orange juice - tasted like it was freshly squeezed.  It was cold and refreshing.

The food and prices weren't too bad.  I wouldn't mind coming back.
Honestly, I wasn't a real fan of the remodel, but I'm happy to say their food is still good. They've made a few changes to the menu, but it's still amazing.
The person who took my to go order was super nice and helpful.

I ordered:

1. Grilled open faced lobster BLT po boy - You can taste all the different flavors and how they just go together. Oh, so well.

2. Lobster & crawfish remoulade roll - This was light and refreshing.

3. NOLA BBQ Gulf Shrimp & Grits - The shrimp was plump and flavorful. I've never really tried grits before, but it was creamy and paired well with the shrimp.

4. Grilled Medallions of Filet - So tender and juicy. The vegetables it came with were just as good. I'm not big on veggies, but these were cooked just right and had perfect seasoning.

5. Hot Classic Beignets - You can't leave without having beignets. We usually do the raspberry dipping sauce or eat it plain lol. Guaranteed to make a mess
